About

The Energy Managers Association (EMA) was established in February 2012 to serve as the voice of energy management professionals across all industries and to raise the profile of the energy management profession. Now in its 13th year, the EMA represents a community of over 7,250 energy management professionals – including some of the most respected names in the field – who oversee approximately £12 billion of the UK’s energy spend.

As the leading professional membership association, the EMA continues to work towards strengthening the position of energy management experts, promoting best practice and facilitating knowledge exchange. The Association is run for the benefit of individual energy managers and the organisations they represent. All its initiatives and activities reflect a core focus on energy demand and carbon management, with energy and carbon emission reduction, sustainable practices, and climate change mitigation as key priorities.

Energy Managers - about the Energy Managers Association

The EMA aims to:

  1. Improve the standing of the Energy Management profession and those working within it
  2. Establish best-practice in Energy Management
  3. Put Energy Management at the heart of British business

EMA membership is available on both an individual (non-corporate) and corporate basis.

Workshops, Events and Working Groups

EMA understands that industry - and hence Energy Management Professionals - are dispersed across the UK and is keen to include all in the discussions which affect them. This is done by holding virtual workshops, members' meetings, publishing surveys and organising topical virtual events or networking gatherings.

Policy

The EMA believes that the best way to influence policy is not to only answer questions on consultations but to help Government to ask the right questions in the first instance.

In this way, EMA presents itself as a knowledge base on issues around Energy Management. It is no secret that legislation and profession cannot be changed overnight and the EMA works with relevant government departments so that future policy works for practitioners rather than just on paper.
